An 84-year-old woman has died from injuries sustained in a house fire in the Annex.
The two-alarm blaze broke out at home on Boswell Avenue in the Avenue Road and Davenport Road area around 11 p.m. Saturday.
Fire crews say they were met with heavy smoke and flames upon arrival.
A woman was found on the second floor of the home with no vital signs and taken to the hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
“I am mindful of the recent fatal fire on Boswell Avenue, which brings our city’s fire fatalities to 15 for 2025. This tragedy weighs heavily on us all,” Toronto Fire Chief Jim Jessop said in a social media post while acknowledging the heroic efforts of firefighters.
The Ontario Fire Marshal’s office has been called in to investigate the origin and cause of the blaze.
